Hi, to the community. I think that it was good of Rush Limbaugh to express his views on a Black President and to prove that he is not a racist has promoted Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice as strong candidates for presidential status. I think that it was fair on the part of Rush to say about is comments on a black president. I think that we should thank him….shouldn’t we?

As an old fan of Rush (I have a couple of his books) I should say this. I no longer believe everything Rush says. In my opinion Rush likes to stir the soup so that he stays in the mix. He made a load of money while Bill Clinton was president. With all the Billary stuff. It is much better for him if we have a democrat president (this should happen this time) than a Republican. Talk radio is great for Republicans, Democrats don't have as firm an audience base. We get a Democrat in and he has 4-8 years of material handed to him. His audience would not stand for bashing John McCain everyday for years. Loss of audience means loss of money for Rush.

So to make a long story shorter I don't really think we know his opinions of any of the three. Black or white I doubt that he really cares. My personal opinion is he will like any man better than any woman. He has never seemed to really respect women for their thoughts in my opinion.

But I may be wrong. Just thought I would toss it out there.

I wouldn’t be arguing with Rush about the black president issue and neither with Mr. Clinton on this one. I don’t think that we should thank Rush for anything but as you said about this news I believe you can also express your views in news related discussions that will get comments on your views.

Isn't that a common trap to fall into? Rush gets news whenever he's controversial (and he's not alone) so it's ultimately beneficial for him to be controversial and blunt and bold as much as possible. Maybe I'm naive, but I really don't believe that it's necessarily so calculated a move though. After all, it's fully a classical conditioning situation. So I think that you can more or less trust what he's saying as his real point of view, but don't be surprised if he overstates it and goes too far too often, just for the viewers.
